I just hope we avoid flipping between the 2 regularly. I'd rather we choose a formation and stick with it for a run of games. I think 4-2-3-1 would probably be good with Connolly / Morrison the wider players in the 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 That's a great signing. Can't see Partick getting near you tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to have a plan A, B and sometimes C though as otherwise teams will suss you out early on. Keena and Dowds have been signed as starters so i'd Imagine 4-4-2 will be our plan A. 4-2-3-1 the plan B for some games that will maybe be a bit trickier than others. God knows what our plan C is last year it was chucking Lee Miller on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams will play with 5 in midfield against us so I doubt we'll be playing a diamond as we'd get overun in there but Blair will be expected to get forward more with Miller covering. We now have 9 midfielders on the books. Telfer, Todd, Laverty, Leitch, Gomis, Morrison, Alston, Miller and Connolly. Leitch is down as a forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 As if stands I think we have the strongest squad in the league. Needed goals from midfield and someone who can produce a "moment" to win close games from nothing and I think we get both of that with Alston. Would like to see a centre back at a minimum to strengthen further but been really pleased with the last few signings. Is Lex Miller the third biggest shareholder? No he is about 6th or 7th 1. Sandy Alexander2.Martin Ritchie3. William Moffat4. Douglas McIntyre 5. Colin Liddell 6. Paul Healy 7. Lex Miller8. Willie Jones9. Falkirk Supporters Society10. Graeme Crawford I may have 3-6 in the wrong order as they all have similar numbers c200,000. Miller has under 130,000 not many more than Willie Jones 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played right wing for Forfar last season when he was on loan and all his games for us last year he was in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depth we've got competing for the midfield 4 is ridiculous though; assuming we go Miller, Morrison, Connolly, Alston then we've got Gomis, Todd and Telfer on the bench Could really have done without telfer and instead had another option with pace out wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Guaranteed if we go up this season Buchanan will score a header against us from a Joe Mckee set piece next season.After a year watching that useless c**t missing simple headers every other game I think he’s just incapable of directing a header properly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond10 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 An option for the back up keeper could be Rohan Ferguson as he was released from Motherwell this summer. Not seen any of him lately but he was highly rated at Airdrie as a youngster and he's relatively local as he hails from Bathgate. Still only 22 as well so would fit the mould of signings we've been making. Edited to add: Scrap that completely, just watched a few highlights from Linfield games last season and he's not the answer. Not highly rated by all . Came in at a young age and played every game but ultimately cost us stupid goals and points. You could probably get a better back up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nearly every successful team I can remember has a set way of playing which they start 90% of games with and this is the approach I'd like to take rather than 4-4-2 one game, 4-2-3-1 next, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't have been signed even without alston. There's far better out there especially in the current climate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I for one am absolutely creaming myself at the though of Alston carrying on his longstanding tradition of running rings round the fife diddies when we play them in the cup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
